How Peter Obi’s Supporter Appointed By President Tinubu Once Described Yoruba Women As Dirty, Said He’d Require A Bath After Hugging One

Marcus-Obiene Fernández, a Labour Party and Peter Obi’s supporter who was recently given an appointment by President Bola Tinubu, in an old tweet once described Yoruba women as dirty, saying he has to take his bath after hugging anyone of them.

President Tinubu appointed Fernandez as his Special Assistant on Justice Sector Reforms And ICT/Digital and Innovative Technology.

The LP supporter’s appointment has generated reactions from the All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters who have questioned why he accepted the appointment after calling the President a “drug dealer.” 

Whereas Fernandez has since his appointment protected his X (formerly Twitter) page, a tweet where he described Yoruba women as dirty in May 2013 has surfaced on the internet.

Fernandez had in the post he made on May 30, 2013 written, “Lol! Or did you enter river after her? @BATTLETIDE: Did I hug a Yoruba? Why should I have my bath before I sleep?”

Because he doesn’t want people to see his tweet where he said yoruba women pigs. pic.twitter.com/vRYFcRMJNe

Also, @AyoOyalowo said, “My guy @thefernist good afternoon. Why you dey protect your tweets and what is the reason for deleting your old tweets? Fear dey catch you ni?

“My guy, @thefernist you should not have blocked me. That was a big mistake on your part. I wish you luck with your Obingo movement … but I will make you wish you didn’t.”

Another APC supporter, @balogin said, “It’s not only APC people that are hungry after all. They all used obidense people’s head. Even Obi will take appointment now. Nice one.”
